^ Oreanna Myers, 25, shot her 5 children to death last month before setting the family home on fire and turning the gun on herself.
She left a confessional suicide note in which she wrote she was not strong enough to defeat her “demons,” and apologized for her “evil crime,” law enforcement officials said Thursday.
The horrific Dec. 8 massacre left Myers’ three sons and two stepchildren from her husband’s previous marriage dead. The children were identified as Shaun Dawson Bumgarner, 7, Riley James Bumgarner, 6, Kian Myers, 4, Aarikyle Nova Myers, 3, and Haiken Jirachi Myers, 1. Rest in peace.
Myers was suffering from depression and was upset that her husband had been staying with his father for two weeks instead of with her and the children at their home outside Williamsburg, W.Va., due to logistical transportation issues, Greenbrier County Sheriff Bruce Sloan said.
